Was it "rescheduled"?

The article states that the Olympiad originally set to take place in 2020 was "postponed and rescheduled".

If in fact it was rescheduled, then the article ought to mention what the new schedule is. 2601:200:C000:1A0:8D60:6CA:D581:DFFB (talk) 16:53, 21 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@AirshipJungleman29: Any progress? Onegreatjoke (talk) 22:17, 20 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies for the delay. Will get started now. Some points to begin with:

  • Per WP:LEAD, "a lead section should contain no more than four well-composed paragraphs". Six rather messy paragraphs do not satisfy the criteria.
  • Notes need to be cited.
  • Some citations could be improved in format/layout: 2, 49, 123.
  • Per MOS:OVERSECTION, "short paragraphs and single sentences generally do not warrant their own subheading." This applies to the short pararaphs in the preparations, marketing, broadcasting, and concerns sections.
  • "Women's" vs "women's" needs to be standardised
  • "The women's tournament featured three of the ten top players according to the FIDE rating list published in July 2022: sisters Mariya Muzychuk and Anna Muzychuk plus Nana Dzagnidze." must be cited as it is a statistic.

Placing this on hold while work goes on. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 12:58, 24 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

    • Comment: I was thinking for a while about what would be a good piece of knowledge for our readers, but this one was really striking amongst the others interesting facts in the article.

QPQ: Done.

Overall: @Kiril Simeonovski: Good article. But, i'm not exactly seeing where it says it was the first chess tournament to feature a torch relay in the source provided. Onegreatjoke (talk) 13:30, 29 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • @Onegreatjoke: It's clearly stated in the first sentence of the "Torch relay" sub-section, which reads A torch relay was held prior to the event, the first for a Chess Olympiad.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 13:55, 29 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Other sources confirm the hook. Onegreatjoke (talk) 13:56, 29 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Kiril Simeonovski, c1 of the supplementary guidelines disallows links to disambiguation pages in hooks. would you prefer to replace the link to "torch relay" with something else? dying (talk) 14:32, 29 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Dying: As we don’t have articles about torch relays, the most sensible option to me was to unlink that term.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 16:10, 29 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
